Credit: Reuters/Andrew Winning By Michael Georgy AJDABIYAH, Libya | Sat Apr 9, 2011 11:46am EDT AJDABIYAH, Libya (Reuters) - A buoyant Muammar Gaddafi made his first television appearance for five days on Saturday and his troops engaged rebels in new fighting on the eastern front in Libya's civil war. While fighting flared up again on the war's only active frontline, a Red Cross ship brought medical supplies to the besieged western city of Misrata, scene of bitter street battles, where conditions are said to be desperate. Gaddafi's forces shelled the western outskirts of Ajdabiyah, launch point for rebel attacks toward the Mediterranean oil port of Brega. A Reuters correspondent heard artillery impacts and machinegun fire for around 30 minutes, coming from the western boundary of the town, the gateway to the rebel stronghold of Benghazi 150 km (90 miles) to the northeast. Al Jazeera television said Gaddafi forces had entered Ajdabiyah. Gaddafi smiled and pumped his fists in the air as he received an ecstatic welcome at a school in Tripoli, where women ululated and pupils chanted anti-western slogans. One woman cried with emotion as he passed. Gaddafi, wearing his trademark brown robes and dark glasses, was last seen on television on April 4. He looked confident and relaxed, confirming the impression among analysts that his administration has emerged from a period of paralysis and is hunkering down for a long campaign. STALEMATE Inconclusive see-saw battles have raged along the desert road between Brega and Ajdabiyah for over a week after Gaddafi's military pushed back a rebel advance. Western generals are increasingly pessimistic that the military stalemate can be broken despite NATO air attacks on Gaddafi's armored forces. A Red Cross ship managed to dock in Misrata on Saturday carrying enough medical supplies to treat 300 patients with gunshot wounds. Misrata, the lone major rebel outpost in the west of Libya, has been under siege by Gaddafi's forces for weeks. Insurgents said on Friday they had repelled an assault on the eastern flank of the city after fierce street battles that killed five people. Misrata, Libya's third largest city, rose up with other towns against Gaddafi in mid-February after a security crackdown snuffed out most peaceful protests in the west. Rebels say people in Misrata are crammed five families to a house in the few safe districts to escape weeks of sniper, mortar and rocket fire. There are severe shortages of food, water and medical supplies and hospitals are overflowing. 1 2 Next World Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.

The rebel fighter are very much out gunned by Gaddafi’s forces. Now dose NATO believe that bombing the ammo dumps are hepping the rebels fighter? Gaddafi’s forces are probably getting all the weapons and ammo they need for other African States. How long is NATO going to let the massacre go on before NATO lands Troops on Libya soil in order to help target Gaddafi’s heavy weapon and fight along side the rebels? I believe that Gaddafi’s government troops will melt away once they know that they are up against International troops.

Air power could have been used to keep Gaddafi’s forces from advancing eastward from Sirte.That air power was not used for reasons that will become known later.

It’s damn simple…. the western world KNOWS that the Rebels are better than any kind of Gaddafi remaining in power. But those self same western diplomats and more importantly Bureaucrats already have their GReed set up with the current Libyan regime. But, if the world plays true, now seeing that abstention- china is getting an oil shipment from the rebels (that’s so damn ironic)the rebels should be able to buy some heavy weaps from some European weapon dealers…. so funny this is. Grow up… western bureaucrats!!!! this is prolly your least chance to prove to the younger generations that you are still viable. Cause your actions will be remembered. Also, why are no new “rebel” forces being transported to Misrata?
